Family crests or coats of arms started as paintings on shields to identify a warrior during a battle. During the medieval period the meanings of the paintings became formalised and changed from identifying a single person to identifying a family. Each design on the crest had a meaning. For instance gold rings on a coat of arms means that the family was wealthy. Spears meant the family had prowess in battle. Later coats of arms had motto's added usually written in Latin.
Coats of Arms are generally applied to British, Irish and some European surnames (part of Heraldy). The surname Ahmed is unlikely to have a Heraldic background and therefore also unlikely to have a coat of arms.
It is possible to design (or have designed for you) a modern coat of arms, which will have meaning to your current family but have no historical content or meaning
